Bestiary Fantastic

Bestiary Fantastic brings over 550 pre-statted creatures to your 54 Fantasy game. These are the classic creatures of fantasy, from the Ahuitzotl of Central America, through Penanggalan of oriental myth to Zombie of European folklore and movie myth. These are the monsters of mythology the world over, giving you access to as broad a base of monsters as could be crammed into a single book. Creatures are included of all experience levels to challenge your players, from novice nuisances to grand master terrors that will haunt your group's PCs for years to come.

Each creature is fully statted out; there is no need to look up various abilities as all the details for each are at your fingertips and the in-game stats you need are contained on a single page. Most creatures have their own illustration, and many have Racial Stat information to aid in building "experienced" or customized versions or even allowing their use as player races. These aren't only just stat blocks though; each creature type contains additional information to help spark your imagination as to how it can fit into your game, and what it would be doing there.

Also included is an advanced sectin on setting up encounters for your game, as well as a conversion section, allowing you to take OGL/d20 creatures and convert them for use in your 54 game.

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
